Dugout Discussion – Everton vs Middlesbrough

17 September 2016 5055 comments

Saturday’s events come to a close at Goodison Park with Ronald Koeman’s upwardly mobile Everton side hosting Middlesbrough.

Frankly, this match is all about Romelu Lukaku.

The Belgian exploded a dramatic 11-minute hat-trick just six days ago at Sunderland and heads into the tea-time encounter backed by almost 250,000 new owners, with 6% handing him the captaincy.

Koeman’s side will be bidding for a fourth straight victory and a third consecutive clean sheet.

Middlesbrough’s task looks tough, then, having suffered a home reverse in Gameweek 4 at the hands of Crystal Palace.

Alvaro Negredo goes into the contest desperate for a goal having blanked in his last three. Having soared early on as a Fantasy Premier League transfer target, he’s been hemorrhaging owners for the past three Gameweeks, losing 164,000 heading into Friday’s deadline.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Am I the worst manager in history
    I'm going to review my transfers quick

    Lamela-> Antonio - happy with that so far
    Sanchez -> Cazorla - gutted
    Barkley to firminio-> I'm going to regret that so much
    Negredo -> Lukaku - Lukaku better grab a ha trick

    This is looking dreadful for a -12 don't know what I was thinking

    Foster / Jaku
    Baines / Valencia / Stones / Pieters / Amat
    Sanchez / Firmino / Sterling / Snodgrass / Capoue
    Aguero / Lukaku / Benteke

    I am concerned about the Tekkers pick, may downgrade defence, Stones and Baines to Holebas and Williams to get Slimani in.
